Ben is coming to Nantucket as part of the Nantucket Book Foundation & PEN/Faulkner Writers in Schools program. (The Nantucket Book Festival now falls under the Nantucket Book Foundation). This program gave a copy of
Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe to every student in the Nantucket AP English classes that will be teaching this book. On Wednesday, April 12th, Benjamin will visit these classrooms to discuss the multiple award-winning novel. This visit was made possible in part by a generous grant from The Community Foundation for Nantucket's
Nantucket Fund™.
The evening event at the Dreamland on April 11th is a new partnership with the Nantucket Book Foundation & The Dreamland as part of their
Page to Stage series.
